"Odalisca" (also known as "Odalisque") is a renowned painting by the Spanish artist Mariano José María Bernardo Fortuny y Carbó, commonly known as Mariano Fortuny. Created in the 19th century, this work is a testament to Fortuny's fascination with Orientalist themes, a popular subject among European artists of that era. The painting depicts an odalisque, a woman residing in a harem, which was a common trope in Orientalist art, symbolizing exotic beauty and sensuality.

Mariano Fortuny was born in 1838 in Reus, Catalonia, Spain, and developed into a prolific painter known for his detailed and vibrant works that often featured historical and exotic themes. "Odalisca" showcases Fortuny's skillful use of light and color, as well as his ability to capture the textures of fabrics and the human form with exquisite detail. The painting reflects the influence of the artist's travels in North Africa and the Middle East, regions that inspired many of his works.

The composition of "Odalisca" is characterized by the reclining figure of the odalisque, adorned in lavish garments and surrounded by rich drapery and ornate objects that evoke the luxurious and secluded world of the harem. Fortuny's attention to the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous brushwork, contribute to the lifelike quality of the painting and the immersive atmosphere it creates.

"Odalisca" is considered one of Fortuny's masterpieces and is often highlighted for its contribution to the Orientalist movement in European art. The painting is not only a reflection of the 19th-century European fascination with the "Orient" but also an example of Fortuny's artistic legacy and his impact on the genre. Today, the work is held in high regard for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance, offering insight into the cultural perceptions and artistic trends of its time.
